I rather suspect that Stef is missing to generate the runlevel event,
so the ttys are not started automatically.
I.e. if you have a job depending on runlevel X you have to call
telinit X at some point during the boot process.

In Debian/Ubuntu this is done in rc-sysinit.conf, which parses
/etc/inittab if existent and the runs
telinit "${DEFAULT_RUNLEVEL}"
